(photographic picture book) about two 12-year old kids (a boy

thought it was quite realistic and didn't resort to
stereotypes, it made sure to emphasize that both of the
children are fully American, and it even took the space and
time to put little side boxes in there explaining about the
"O-word" (mentioning that many AA people consider it offensive
now), and explaining that AAs from different cultural
backgrounds are actually quite different, and that the
generations are different. Maiko Covington (mi...@tcp.com

Lau, Evelyn. Runaway: A Diary of a Street Kid. "I think the book
will usually be classified under sociology (read: troubled

I thought it was well written, but (not to trivialize the
horrors Evelyn went through), I thought it was rather
self-absorbed. If everyone thinks that Western-born Asian
males whine too much, this book will probably balance it out
between the sexes.
